How old is your root nameserver cache? I think the Debian package puts it in /etc/bind/db.root, but you can find out by looking for the zone of type "hint" in your named.conf. You can get the current values for that file by running $ dig @a.root-servers.net . ns > /tmp/db.root If /tmp/db.root is different than the one that you currently have, you might want to try using the new one.
